"Don't bother, Dad. I want to be self-reliant. Let me do it myself."Dad paused for a while, but eventually, he sighed and said, "Oh, you. No matter what happens, remember that I'm always your biggest supporter."After ending the call, I took a deep breath and got ready to leave the house. Unexpectedly, I ended up running into Gigi and Donald."Well? Are you satisfied now?" Donald snapped as he stormed up to me and stomped down hard on my foot. He did it with so much force that I had to bite my lip in pain. My head started spinning as well. On the day I met Donald, the strong typhoon winds nearly knocked him off his feet. The streets were flooded with rainwater that reached the ankles.In my attempt to save Donald from stumbling, I ended up stepping on a shard of glass, and that injury continued to cause me problems to this day.Startled, Donald paused, but after glancing behind him, the flash of guilt in his eyes instantly vanished."Apologize to Gigi," Donald demanded. "If no

Donald guffawed before exclaiming, "What's gotten into you, Jeanette? How did you manage to find so many actors? Considering that pittance you earn as a salary, won't you go bankrupt paying them? Look at him calling you Ms. Swan as though you're a big shot. Hah!"His spit landed on my face, and Gordon, despite being in his 50s, paled in horror at once. He quickly instructed his people to get me some tissues."Jeanette, why do you like putting on airs so much? As women, we should be more generous and accommodating. I'm willing to stay single for the rest of my life for Donnie's sake, but what about you? You're just acting like a bitch in heat!" Gigi declared as she looked at me with a mocking expression.When Shawn noticed that everyone was too engrossed in the gossip to pay any attention to me, he started playing with the food and decorations all around, turning the party into a mess.Shawn had been an unexpected gift in Frank and Martha's later years, and by and large, they prefer

My phone kept buzzing with messages from Dad asking me to go on blind dates. I brushed him off with a quick response before calling up my lawyer."I'll press charges as per the law. The court will decide what's a fair punishment.""No… Don't…" Gigi cried out.After glancing at the terror-stricken Gigi, Donald gritted his teeth and kneeled before me. Clutching one of my pant legs, he looked at me with slightly reddened eyes and said, "I've never begged anyone for anything before. I admit I was wrong this time, Jeanette. Can you please spare Gigi?"She's still so young, and life in prison is hard. She's already so frail and skinny. What will happen to her if she goes to prison? Can you really bear to do that to her?"Having witnessed the whole situation, Frank and Martha knew I was no longer the meek and submissive Jeanette I used to be. They quickly tried to drag Donald off with them."Why wouldn't I bear to do that to her?" I questioned Donald as I eyed him coldly. "If you feel s

"No, that's not it…" Donald said. He tried his best to think of an explanation to give, but alas, that was indeed how he had treated me in the past. I had merely told the truth."Jeannie, you agreed to watch a movie with me. Why are you still here?"Just then, Clark's voice rang out.I whipped my head around, only to see that he had already hooked his arm around mine."Donald, right? You're still out and about, huh? I've been seeing your name a lot lately."Donald's dim eyes gleamed a little at that."Jeannie, all of the information needed to sue your old company is ready. As for the situation with Gigi, I've gotten in touch with the police about it. She accepted numerous bribes during her employment with the company and also destroyed several families by being a homewrecker."She would've gotten a five-year prison sentence for her crimes, but she was such a coward that when she found out about the news, she accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. She's now half-paralyzed."
